Call for participation: HPC tutorial series from the HPCIC
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and AWS are joining forces to provide a training opportunity for emerging HPC tools and application. This takes the form of a series of tutorials over the summer by the HPC Innovation Center (HPCIC) at the Lab, which focuses on a broad suite of open-source software projects originating from LLNL. The series aims to give attendees experience with these cutting-edge technologies.
This virtual series consists of nine distinct tutorials through the month of August. Each tutorial focuses on a specific package from the HPCIC. You’ll get hands-on experience with each project and learn more about running HPC on AWS. Each event will be hosted on AWS resources and use AWS ParallelCluster to provide the environment for attendees.
LLNL has a long history of delivering some of the world’s largest supercomputers and the supporting software to effectively use them. This collaboration between LLNL and AWS brings these projects and industry best practices to a broader community. Together we are democratizing access to next generation computational research tools and HPC resources.
